What's the advantage of MultiSeat versus, say, 5 actual computers?
real-estate, and the fact that since all we use is
FireFox/Thunderbird/IE/serial terminal app/microfiche viewer , the
"power" of most computers is TERRIBLY underutilised today. That's why
vmWare is so popular in our (my day job) labs !
Especially when point-of-sale is involved, those computers can be
*really* cheap. Probably cheaper than any individual graphics card you
mentioned.
It's not POS as you typically think of it. When a customer wants a part,
we have to look up a digital "microfiche" to find the parts (Windows
program) and if we don't have it in stock, use M$ IE (ONLY!) to check
availability in the BMW Warehouse to order it, or place an order.
